Penn vs. Fitch main event UFC Austrailia

[kaps]

Rumor is the fight was signed immediately after the Penn Hughes fight...

[kaps]

Fitch by a very sleep worthy UD....

Tough one to call. It depends whether Fitch can take him down. If Fitch succeeds probably Fitch, but BJ Penn can submit on the back . If he has a hard time taking him down, BJ Penn will KO him.

Prediction: BJ Penn in 4.

As for the matchmaking, I think its a good fight if BJ Penn wants to be at Welterweight. However, I think he should go back down to lighweight and possibly fight Ben Henderson in his first UFC fight. And if Gray Maynard defeats Edgar, BJ Penn would have a good shot at winning the lightweight title again. At Welterweight I feel Penn is too small to beat GSP and should therefore return to Lightweight where he can still recapture the title.

I think Fitch's size and strength combined with his wrestling will be enough to hold Baby Jay down on his back for the duration. I'd love too see Penn KO him though...

I would love to see him submit him to be honest. Standing aint no problem for BJ, its when these wrestlers try to rush him against the cage or take him down. If he submits fitch of his back, or if he stuffs all the takedowns and HE takes fitch down and finishes wit the rear naked choke, i would send a deeper message then a ko would.

I'd like to see Penn win by submission or by KO. Hope he doesn't get Gray and prayed.

I agree with this, Maynard would be easier to beat than Fitch, Penn is gonna be at a size disadvantage no matter who he faces at WW and he isn't going to beat GSP.

Good point. My prediction now is Penn by UD in a close fight. Although this being a main event it should be a 5 round fight.
